OK, thanks for response.

I could reproduce very easy that:
Running initex. This may take some time. ...
! Could not write 1 8-byte item(s).
! Could not write 2926 4-byte item(s).
by just reducing the space on /tmp to about 13MB, like you've on your
system.
fmtutil: /usr/share/texmf/web2c/lambda.oft installed.
mkdir: cannot create directory `/tmp/mt3966.tmp': No space left on device
I could not reproduce that message, and I couldn't make him fail, by
just trying to reconfigure tetex-bin. That could be due to I've tried
2.0.2-5.1, which has another tmp-file handling than the recent
versions, IIRC.

H.
